Charlotte, NC  (RestaurantNews.com)  Good grief! And GREAT news: Krispy Kreme® and Peanuts® are partnering for the first time ever in the U.S.!

This festive season, Krispy Kreme is teaming up with Peanuts to bring fans of Snoopy, Charlie Brown and the Peanuts gang the Krispy Kreme x Peanuts Collection – because after all, what are the holidays without those closest to you, your favorite characters and some delicious doughnuts?

Available in a custom dozen box beginning Saturday, Nov. 29 for a limited time at participating Krispy Kreme shops across the U.S., the Krispy Kreme x Peanuts Collection features three all-new doughnuts, each inspired by the beloved world of Peanuts by Charles M. Schulz – along with two returning fan favorites:

NEW Snoopy Cookies & Kreme™ Doughnut – a Snoopy-shaped doughnut filled with Cookies & Kreme™ filling, dipped in vanilla flavored icing, and decorated with a Snoopy face.

NEW Charlie Brown Ornament Doughnut – a shell doughnut filled with brownie batter flavored filling, dipped in yellow vanilla flavored icing, and topped with a chocolate flavored buttercreme zig-zag and ornament hook.

NEW Christmas Wreath Doughnut – an Original Glazed® doughnut-topped with a buttercreme flavored green swirl, yellow nonpareil sprinkles, and a Snoopy and Woodstock sugar piece.

Santa Belly Doughnut – a returning holiday favorite! An unglazed shell doughnut filled with White Kreme™ filling, decorated with a chocolate flavored buttercreme Santa belt and topped with a Santa buckle sugar piece.

Holiday Sprinkle Doughnut – an Original Glazed® doughnut dipped in chocolate icing with festive sprinkles is back.

“Just like Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the Peanuts gang, our new holiday collection will bring joy, sweetness and a little extra happiness to all,” said Alison Holder, Chief Brand and Product Officer for Krispy Kreme.

“Peanuts has brought joy to fans during the holiday season for decades,” said Scott Shillet, Vice President, Global Licensing for Peanuts. “As we celebrate Peanuts’ 75th anniversary this year, we look to collaborate with partners like Krispy Kreme to continue that tradition for fans of all ages.”
